Uphollandlatic 28th May 2020		Live Music Bad Company @ Winter Gardens	Great gig. Really strong energetic sound. Loved it.
Uphollandlatic 28th May 2020		Live Music West, Bruce And Laing @ Free Trade Hall	Actually disappointing. I had bought the WBL album on the strength of it having jack Bruce in it and enjoying 'Mountain'. The first track is ok 'Why Donntcha', but then it becomes very ordinary and this gig pretty much reflected that. A brief moment of magic as jack Bruce sang 'Sunshine of Your Love', but a bit of a damp squid. I wasn't to know it at the time, but this was the last time I went to the Free Trade hall. Thank you for some great memories.
Uphollandlatic 28th May 2020		Live Music Pink Floyd @ Free Trade Hall	This was abandoned due to a power failure and rescheduled for 29th March.
Uphollandlatic 28th May 2020		Live Music Pink Floyd @ Free Trade Hall	This was an extra night as the first one was already sold out. The first night was a rescheduled date arranged after the original gig had to be abandoned due to a power failure. They started with the whole of, what was to become, 'Darkside of the Moon'. Then played the established favourites 'One of These Days', Set the Controls', Eugene' Echoes'. The band were just starting to go into the kind of form that would propel them into the kind of stratosphere that they lived in for the rest of their lives.
Uphollandlatic 28th May 2020		Live Music The Who @ Free Trade Hall	One of the few times I saw The Who with a support band, which was 'The Joe Walsh band' before he went off to join The Eagles. The Who were still in full 1970 mode white boiler suit, skeleton costume and fringes (god knows what Keith Moon wore). They were trying out a new set, which included 'Water' and some other songs that didn't seem to quite summon up too much enthusiasm. among the audience. An extract of 'Tommy' was played. I was sat on row'B' right in front of John Entwhistle. Very loud but when they were into the parts of the set they had been playing for some time and had already been heard on 'Live at Leeds' they were great. No guitar smashing though.
